The next color edit tool is used to set the black and white points which define the lightness range of the image:
You will use this tool to indicate the values that you want to be perfect black and perfect white. Usually, but not always, this will involve pushing the dark tones in your image down to darker values and pulling the light tones up to lighter values.
The Black / White Point panel shows a histogram of the tones found in the color balanced image. This histogram may be helpful in deciding what the best black and white points might be.
There are three ways of specifying the black and white points. These methods may be used in any combination.
| SmartColor Button | • | This will automatically find good settings in most cases. |
| Dragging the Handles | • | You may also drag the black and white point handles to specific values. |
| Selecting From the Image | • | You may select your black and white points directly from your image. |
